Ecological Gyre Theory
Chantelle Mitchell & Jaxon Waterhouse

Chantelle Mitchell (VIC) and Jaxon Waterhouse (NT) are long term collaborators, working together as Ecological Gyre Theory, a multidisciplinary artistic research project.

This project manifests as curatorial practice, experimental writing, sculptural and installation practice and academic research.

In 2023, Chantelle and Jaxon were the Monash University Art, Design and Architecture Gallery Curators in Residence, presenting three exhibitions and a series of programs with Australian and international artists in consideration of concepts drawn from the theoretical frameworks of anthropologist Tim Ingold. They have published widely across contemporary theory and ecology.

Together, they were co-directors of Ordinance, a contemporary arts space in Narrm.
